Hi, Magnus,
We did a little PC board that has two Analog Devices CML comparators
that feed the flop.

An external DAC tweaks the VBIAS voltage to slew the edge times across
one another, and an external ADC looks at the averaged flop outputs. The
jitter noise floor is probably dominated by the test signals, not the
flop under test.
Ah, thanks. Much clearer now!
You more tweak the voltage than actual timing, it's the slope property
that does the timing, but interesting never the less.
Downstream of the comparators, all the flop sees is time... not voltage
shift. We used a sampling scope to calibrate the picoseconds-per-volt
slope of the voltage input from the DAC.
